Poison Lab Update: Mushroom Poisoning Radio Roundup

Hey everybody, you’re listening to The Poison Lab—well, almost.

We’ve got a new episode coming next week, but we’re running a little behind on our usual release schedule because… life happens. That said, if you’re looking for some toxicology content right now, I’ve got you covered.

Recently, I had the chance to appear on two local and state radio shows talking about one of my favorite topics: mushroom poisoning 🍄—and both were an absolute blast.

🌱 Garden Talk (Call-In Episode) (Ryan starts @ 1 hour and 14 min)

The first appearance was on Garden Talk, a fun, live call-in show where we covered:

1. Mushroom poisoning basics
2. Listener questions
3. My game GOTTA PICCEM
4. The book Poisonous Fungus Among Us

It was lively, unpredictable, and a great example of how curious people are about mushrooms once you open the door.

📻 Local Health Update Radio Segment

After that, I joined a local radio health update to talk specifically about mushroom poisoning from a public-health perspective. It’s always interesting to hear how radio hosts approach such a niche topic—and how quickly it turns into something broadly relevant.

🔬 Want a Quick Toxicology Fix?

If you’re itching for some Poison Lab content while you wait for the next full episode, these two appearances are a great place to start.

And don’t worry—we’ll be back next week with a full episode and answers to our mystery case.

Thanks, as always, for listening.

Hope to see you there.
